Implementation of artificial intelligence technologies in healthcare in Russia: results of 2024

The key area of implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in healthcare in Russia is the creation and integration of AI-based medical devices (AI-based MDs) into the digital contours of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. In 2018–2024, 4 billion 712 million rubles were invested in the creation and development of various AI products for healthcare, 69 % of which came from government sources. The subordinate scientific centers of the Ministry of Health of Russia are implementing 215 research projects in this area. 21 national and preliminary technical standards have been developed and approved. As of January 1, 2025, 39 AI-based MDs were registered in Russia. As a result, a total of 412 regional projects for the implementation of AI-based MDs were carried out, 83 % of which involve image analysis, and 16 % involve analysis of electronic health records. Currently, a set of measures is being developed to actively introduce AI technologies into healthcare, including the development of legal frameworks, attracting investments, conducting scientific research, and developing new products.
